In many ways, paying a few bucks extra to sit in a gigantic IMAX theater and watch a 3D movie while wearing a pair of cheap and ridiculously gauche Buddy Holly glasses seems like paying a couple bucks extra to look stupid in the dark.

If 3Ds going to become the next big thing in the way we all watch movies, someone’s going to have to make some cooler looking specs… and luckily, it looks like at least one Etsy user has in the Kraken Steampunk 3D Goggles!

We’re getting as exhausted with steampunk through overexposure as the rest of you, but there’s no doubt that these burnished brass goggles are a huge step-up: they make you look like a Victorian jetpack pilot, not an unfashionable idiot.

The designer, Will Rockwell, created the Kraken Steampunk 3D Goggles by ornamenting an existing set of Real3D glasses with the requisite brass cogs and webbing that defines the steampunk aesthetic. That means they should work in any movie theater out there.

The price? A less than modest $200. But who ever said fashion came cheap?
